Certain objects, game characters disappear frequently in Arcanum: Of Steamworks
& Magick Obscura during gameplay.
Sometimes they reappear for a short period only to vanish again. They're either
completely missing or only partially drawn.
This happens only when the game is running with hardware rendering. Using the
software renderer (-no3d command line argument) the problem is non-existent.

A plain terminal output doesn't reveal anything interesting.

This is a regression between 1.4-rc4 and 1.4-rc5, caused by

f20e07b77bec5863e71141cfe623f1ef8ef28c60 is the first bad commit

The reverted patch fixed the problem.

Steps to reproduce the problem with the demo:
Install the demo. Start the demo with Arcanum.exe. In the main menu choose
<Single Player>, <New Game>, then <Pick Character>. Skip the intro video. The
game opens with a conversation. You can observe that during the conversation
game characters are missing.
